Late October escapes are calling with two destinations that couldn't be more different—yet both deliver exactly what Dallas travelers need right now. Key West promises that Florida Keys magic without the Florida tourist crowds, while Lima serves up coastal cliffs, world-class ceviche, and a gateway to Machu Picchu that's way more affordable than you'd expect.

Big News: Premium Now Available Monthly

We're now offering Premium for just $7/month — no annual commitment required. If you'd rather save long term, the $70 annual plan is still the best value (two months free). Start monthly, see every deal three times a week, and switch whenever you're ready.

Key West is Your Tropical Escape

Mon, Oct 27 – Tue, Nov 4
American Airlines, 2 stops

Two-ninety-one to Key West. You're looking at the southernmost point in the continental U.S., where the dress code is flip-flops and the biggest decision you'll make is beach or pool. Late October in Key West means perfect fall weather (still 80°F while Dallas is finally cooling down), world-class snorkeling at Dry Tortugas, and sunset celebrations at Mallory Square that locals take as seriously as we take our BBQ. Yes, there are two stops, but that price makes it worth the extra travel time.

Prefer fewer connections? This route cuts your stops in half and still gets you to island paradise for a price that makes sense. Same turquoise waters, same laid-back vibes, same escape from reality – just a smoother journey getting there.

Need to travel earlier in October? This timing works perfectly if you want to catch Key West before Halloween hits – think costume parties, Duval Street celebrations, and island festivities that rival anything we've got going on back home.

Pro Travel Tip

Key West in late October means great weather without peak winter pricing. Book accommodations early since the island stays busy year-round. The Dry Tortugas ferry books up weeks in advance.

Lima is Your Coastal Adventure

Four-ninety-five to Lima. We're talking coastal cliffs that rival anything you've seen on the West Coast, ceviche so fresh it'll ruin seafood for you back home, and a gateway to Machu Picchu that's more accessible than most people realize. December in Lima means summer is starting (hello, Southern Hemisphere), beach weather, and exploring ancient ruins without the crowds that pack Peru in July.
